Long ago when I worked for a tech company a guy I worked with drank a full 2 liter of Pepsi every day. We worked graveyard and he said he needed the caffeine, but admitted he did the same during his days off.

After I had been there for a while several of us decided to stop drinking anything caffeinated. No soda, coffee nothing but water. He was one of us. While many of us got headaches because we drank a lot of coffee about halfway through the first no caffeine shift he looked like a junky on withdrawals. He was pale and shaking and looked sick. He made it until just past lunch and gave up.

I made it and never looked back. Without the caffeine I had more energy and didn't have the highs and lows anymore. To this day (now about 16 years later) I still very rarely drink caffeine and almost never drink soda unless it has whiskey in it.
